Hi, that's strange. I don't see anything obvious here. Is there anything in windows event viewer related to it? If the server is crashing then there usually will be something there.

the funny thing is it's only emby that shuts down but have to restart before emby works again???

how does it look with windows event viewer???

[mikkelmcl 3]

would you recommend a full reinstall of windows 11???

Just a guess since the log appear to die with the Backup & Restore plugin process if you remove the plugin does the issue still happen?

@Lukeis this a core plugin now? If so it would need removed from \system\plugins and \programdata\plugins

Also looking at that log why would do a copy of people then try to delete or just a coincedence of where is crashed?

It is but you can uninstall via the UI if desired.

if you enable a directory to be included in the backup, then later disable it, the backup process will clean out the folder that was disabled from the backup.

No. No one should ever recommend this.

 

 

I don't understand why so many people jump from a minor issue to 'reinstall the entire OS'. That may or may not fix your immediate issue, but is a huge amount of unnecessary work and provides absolutely 0 information to be able to actually resolve whatever caused your problem. (while also destroying any info that could be useful to resolve it)

 

It's the equivalent of getting a flat tire and immediately scrapping the car. A new car won't help if you just drive over the same pile of nails and broken glass.... Look for and fix the actual issue.

It has a new name now Backup & Restore.  I would test uninstalling that one and see if you still have an issue.

I have examined this folder 
D:\Emby\embyserver-backup-full\metadata\people\ \ \ \ Backup & Restore has created over 200 empty folders with no name 
therefore it shuts down I have now formatted that drive as it was not possible to delete folder no matter what i did. 
I have now deleted Backup & Restore and 
everything works fine again thanks for the help.

now Backup & Restore also works I can see I can now also restore from backup I couldn't before I just discovered

[Luke 42080]

HI, so you've enabled the backup again and it's all fine?

[mikkelmcl 3]

yes, after I format d the drive which deletes all those folders, then run the backup again
